The guided tour 4 is closed for a long time due to reconstruction. The large house at 19 Klatovská třída, where the remains of Hugo Semler’s family apartment are located on the first floor, is currently undergoing extensive reconstruction with the aim of adapting the house for the Patton Memorial Museum, which is currently located in the KD Peklo, Pobřežní 10, Plzeň.

Towards the end of the Second World War, the interior was used as the office of the German military commander of the town, Georg von Majewski, and was also the place where the surrender document was signed in May 1945.

You will be able to see the new museum and the reconstructed Loos interior in the summer of 2026.

Richard Hirsch’s apartment, which is located in his parents’ house at 6 Plachého Street and where the first ever realisation of Adolf Loos in Pilsen was created, can be visited occasionally several times a year or with a pre-booked group. Richard’s bachelor apartment has so far undergone only a partial restoration and is still awaiting its complete reconstruction. We always publish the tour dates in advance in the news on the main page of the website.

 

The guided tours are in Czech but visitors can request the tour text in German or English.

The routes do not offer barrier-free access, meaning the tours are not suitable for individuals with limited mobility. Also, due to the high number of stairs, some visitors may find the tour physically challenging.

The apartments are not equipped with sanitary facilities.

Due to the apartments’ unrenovated condition, they are not accessible to children 12 or younger.

Due to the tour’s popularity, we recommend purchasing tickets in advance.
